the 2024 monster manual has made a lot
0:02
of changes to the creatures it contains
0:04
creatures that rely heavily on save or
0:07
suck effects like paralysis have
0:09
frequently had those abilities weakened
0:11
in some way uh mind flares ghouls things
0:16
that would generally take creatures out
0:18
of combat for potentially the entire
0:20
encounter can generally now only
0:22
incapacitate you for about one round at
0:24
a time so ghouls are a great example
0:28
their paralyzing claws used make you
0:30
make a constitution save and then you
0:33
could repeat the save at the end of each
0:34
of your turns otherwise you were
0:36
paralyzed now when you're Paralyzed by a
0:38
ghoul the effect wears off at the end of
0:40
your next turn that's much less
0:43
threatening in one-on-one encounters but
0:46
you can still be very vulnerable in
0:47
encounters against multiple
0:50
enemies now there are exceptions to this
0:53
the caran crawler is a notable standout
0:56
here it's paralyzing tentacles in the
0:58
2014 rules targeted a constitution save
1:01
paralyzed you for a minute and you got
1:03
to repeat the saves in the 2024 rules
1:06
it's now a dexterity save and still has
1:08
that one minute duration the important
1:11
part about that is paralysis causes you
1:14
to automatically fail dexterity saves so
1:17
if you're Paralyzed by a caran crawler
1:19
and no one can come to your rescue you
1:22
are paralyzed for the full minute of the
1:25
effect while some spooky dungeon bug is
1:27
chewing on your parts
